Escape from Kabul

When the war ended, the crisis began.

An urgent, emotionally harrowing documentary that captures the human cost of geopolitical collapse through firsthand accounts and archival footage from a chaotic 18-day evacuation.

Unfolding over 18 monumental days in August 2021, this deeply immersive and emotional documentary combines never-before-seen archival footage from those on the ground at the airport with exclusive interviews with people who were there throughout the period, including Afghan citizens attempting to flee, U.S. Marines tasked with managing the evacuation, and Taliban commanders and fighters who had recently taken the city.
